👏 Great news for accessibility!

Target is introducing new self-checkout machines designed to better serve people with disabilities, including individuals who are blind, have low vision or experience motor disabilities.

With features like Braille, high-contrast buttons, audio guidance and tactile navigation, these updates make everyday errands more inclusive and empowering.

💙 Progress like this matters. It helps ensure independence and dignity for people of all abilities.

The ability to get from place to place should never be a barrier for a person to get what they need.

That’s why we’re exploring flexible, on-demand transportation options designed to work for real life. Whether it’s getting to work, a medical appointment, or a community event, reliable transportation opens doors and creates more opportunities for independence.

We’re not just imagining a better system, we’re building it.

Sensory-friendly fall ideas:

Trying to understand the services and supports available for someone with an Intellectual or Developmental Disability can feel like a maze. There’s a lot of information but not always a clear place to start.

That’s why we’re committed to breaking things down in simple, useful ways. When families understand what’s available, they’re better able to make informed choices that truly support their goals and chart a clear, realistic path to the places they want to go.
